The Japanese mobile fansite recently revealed the individual stories of each member for the music video “Time Machine”. Below are the pictures and the translated stories for each member. The lyrics for “Time Machine” can be found here.
Sitting in the back seat of a luxury car. Jessica knows the relationship is ending.
In order to fit into her boyfriend’s busy life, who focuses everything on his company, she overextends herself. Even now, only his car comes around to meet her. When that happens, it’s frustrating.
Even riding in the car, he is not next to her. She doesn’t need expensive clothes and bags anymore.
She wants to return to her real self. You can see a little hope in that sad face.
Yoona is waiting until her wedding ceremony. But, feelings of an ex-boyfriend have always been lying somewhere in her heart.
Yoona is running. It doesn’t matter what her ex-boyfriend is doing now. She runs toward him thinking if there might be a chance to go back to the old times.
Instead of the chapel rice shower, it is like the falling snow is blessing the new Yoona.
She tries to go back to him. No matter how it ends up.
Right now, the relationship with him has ended. Sunny runs out of the store as the rain’s tears fall.
There wasn’t supposed to be any regrets. When they broke up, she put on a strong facade and dressed in a black set up. It rains so it can hide her crying visage. After a long bout of crying, Sunny walks forward.
There is a slight flow of hope in her expression.
Right now Taeyeon is happy. However, inadvertently thinking of the past, she thinks of a past boyfriend. In that contented life, just thinking about it causes her chest to tighten.
It was fun when they were going out. Just the smallest mistake and they went their separate ways.
She often thinks about what would have happened if they continued to be together.
Without a doubt, right now she is happy. But what if it was a different kind of happiness.
Hyoyeon is waiting for her ex-boyfriend. But she doesn’t know if he’ll come. She arbitrarily told him she wanted to meet him. If she was able to go back in time, she would call him desperately. Hyoyeon looks at the time, but he doesn’t come. The men’s size antique Rolex she received from her grandfather is a little big for her wrist. Only time passes. Afterward, when she stops looking at her watch, she looks to the sky.
The light of the evening street lamps lights her face.
In the middle of a mansion, Seohyun is in an all white room.Inside a gentle white room, she wears all white clothes and wears a corsage on top her head. Her parents don’t like her going out. She knows that. She is what you call a sheltered daughter.
The boy that she had an unrequited love for went far away. she’s living in a dream where if she only went back into the past to tell him about her feelings.
But, building up her courage, she runs out. To him.
Sooyoung is alone in the hotel she is visiting for work. The person who calls is him. While talking they begin to quarrel. Somewhere among the busy days, they stopped seeing eye to eye. Thinking of it now, something like this shouldn’t have happened. She doesn’t want to show her crying face over the phone.
Sooyoung speaks of breaking up. After a few minutes of silence, the two laugh. They both laugh off their stubbornness.
Tiffany dashes through the park. This park is the perfect place where nobody will bother her.
After joining the company, she went out with a fellow co-worker repeatedly.
Just like that the word marriage came out, but one day he wanted to break up with her suddenly.
Even after many months passed, she still doesn’t know the reason. If they can’t go back, she wants to ask why. “Is it my fault?”
If she knew why, she would be able to move forward.
At home, Yuri grips her cell phone. Even if she waits the phone does not ring.
To distract herself from the loneliness, she has a party with friends. When her friends go home, the loneliness comes back. In reality, she already realizes that it ended somewhere. On the other hand, she still hopes to continue on with him.
The hand that grips the cell phone becomes tighter.

i feel stupid, but if there’s no explanation, i wouldn’t know the detailed-stories behind each of them. I love Seo’s story the most..
I Love everything about Time Machine, the song, the music and lyric, the MV and Soshi acting ini this MV was soo good.
omg, I wish that they make a new song that shows when they were with those people. A prelude-ish story maybe?
It all makes sense now, when I watch the mg with the subs I know about this someone special the girls have something in common… To go back in time and be together again
those stories are very very touching…
whether these stories is a truth or not,
if they are having these circumstances…
i would let them to continue it…
just stop entertaining and get your happiness girls…
we already love you…. so much….
sobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb T————————T
Are these stories real? Or made up, I shoulda probably google this or something >__<
thank you for the real story.. hoho.. I hope they will make another music video with story line instead of just dancing.. but even though they will make another dancing only MV, I will still support them.. LOL.. too freak here.. LOL..
poor tiffany because she never knows what the real reason is and can’t move on.. that’s bad..
Sad, meaningful, can relate..
I love these stories, but I wish the PV portrayed these messages better :/
The one I guessed sorta closed was Sooyoung’s. I said she was on the phone that she wanted to break up with him but then they both laughed it off. I like when MVs like Time Machine beacuse they have a sort of meaning or message for the public. They want us to be able to relate somehow and that’s just nice. I liked all of the girl’s stories but I personally think Hyoyen and SeoBaby’s stories were really touching.
I think the closest one
sad, but cool :3 amazing!
yeah thanks finally understand the stories behind…the song kinda means a whole lot more to me now ahaha. yep,totally awesome. fantastic to see them acting in a mv again :)
really cool story, but so sad :(
very interesting stories behind the mv. would love it if each was turned into a minidrama or something kk.
anyway, thank you so much for sharing!
Nice post! I was wondering about the story! Love it!
Somebody had posted this stories on youtube a while back, way before this article. At first I thought they made it up and so I ignored it, but wow, I wonder how that oerson found out so quickly.
Nice stories. Yes, it’s true that the individual stories weren’t really expressed in the mv, but they do share a general theme. It’s more interesting though with the added individual stories. Time Machine MV is daebak!
uhmmm… these things were never really expressed or even implied in the mv…
but still, loved the mv because the girls were acting! :)))
wow!
now i understand.
thank you so much for sharing this important thing.. =D
This is awesome! ^_^
Woah thats some Deeply Emotional Song and i didn’t even know it , im glad this isn’t true in real life
kinda makes me want to watch it again to see if it fits :P
the stories are amazing! I love all of them and I think that Seohyun has the most touching story. if only we can go back to the past~
